At Royal Park, all our choices are made with sustainability in mind. We try to act using the principles of Reuse, Renew and Recycle. When making purchases or choosing suppliers we look for local, clean and green wherever possible.

Some of the smart choices we have made include:

taking the old hot water service to scrap metal, not to landfill

generating energy from 1.5kW solar system

choosing 100% Greenpower

developing our community garden

installing water tanks for the garden

building a compost for organic waste

planting a community orchard

choosing products made from recycled materials

using low voc (volatile emitting compounds) paint

switching of powerpoints and lights when not in use

choosing local businesses as suppliers

adding insulative compound to exterior paint

choosiing water based sealant for the floor

installing instantaeous gas hot water

installing Energy Saver gas heaters
